I've had very little to do with convertibles. Dad used to have a MkII Ford Zephyr convertible which, at the speed he drove, would unlatch one or both doors over the hump-back bridge to Bishop Monkton 60-odd years ago. Still, the straight-6 sounded good. Mum (divorced by then) had an '80 Triumph Spitfire V in which was a bit cramped for me. I used to look over the top of the windscreen and that was very draughty indeed. I thought I was done with the damn things but then sister-in-law showed up in a neglected Saab 9.3 convertible which she thought was the dog's whatsits. What is it with women of a certain age and convertibles?
For LL's benefit, I offer my suggestion. It'll probably still be draughty, but the noise will be nice if it sounds anything like a Jaguar S-Type R.

PS; the Citroen Chapron convertible. Those wheel trims; UGH!
